Medical malpractice cases are most typically complicated. They are complicated medical issues as well as legal issues, and unfortunately, our medical malpractice statute, which requires cases to be presented to a medical review panel before going through the court system, provides an additional layer of time and complexity.
It’s not unusual for a medical malpractice case to take two to three years to work its way through the process, which is another reason why with medical malpractice cases you have to have a significant injury and damage picture to really justify the lengthy process. It’s quite difficult.
